Heads up, Boise. These restaurants have closed for weeks, a month or more — temporarily

With the holidays over (boo!), you might be thinking about returning to business as usual — and heading out for a bite to eat.

Unless you enjoy locked doors, it might pay to make a phone call or check social media first.

Garden City sandwich destination Uncle Giuseppe’s abruptly closed Dec. 29 before reopening today (Jan. 3), citing “high demand,” “going out of town” and being “sold out of products.”

At least three other Boise restaurants temporarily have shuttered for about two weeks, a month or more.

Calle 75 Street Tacos in downtown Boise has been closed for dine-in service since mid-December. The Mexican restaurant at 110 N. 11th St. is aiming to reopen sometime in February. Meanwhile, Calle 75 continues to offer catering and event service.

When it does return to taco slinging, customers should expect improvements including a new quick-service model. “We will miss you all while we are gone,” the restaurant wrote on social media, “but can’t wait to introduce the next version of Calle 75 when we reopen.”

White Rabbit, 4 N. Latah St., is no stranger to taking time off. The restaurant shut down during July last year, less than three months after it had debuted.

Now it’s dark again — for all of January. The reason? Winter break. Evening service is slated to return Feb. 5, it explained on social media. (There’s also “Coffee and Donuts” on Feb. 1.)

Terroir Bistro, 160 N. 8th St., closed New Year’s Day and will remain that way through Jan. 13. Why? “Annual closure,” according to a sign on the door.
